About

Use and Installation

Corium™ brick rainscreen is installed by carpenters, glazers, sheet

metal contractors, and of course brick masons who can work from

mobile platforms, scissor lifts, mast climbers or traditional scaffolding.

Corium can be installed over a wide variety of substrates including

concrete, light gauge metal framing, masonry and wood framing.

Corium is installed with interlocking horizontal trays attached to vertical

supports at 32” on center. The interlocking horizontal trays increase

the strength of the framing. Corium bricks are simply clipped into

place. The trays ensure precision and consistent joint lines. At 32” max

centers, the Corium installer attaches the support trays, clips in the

tiles and finishes the joints with pumped mortar.

Simplicity

Once bricks are installed the Parex Historic Mortar KL which has been

formulated for use with Corium is installed. The Historic Mortar is a

lime based mix and can be applied using several methods of pumping

from hand held to peristalic pumps. The preferred point profile is

bucket-handle.

Design and Technical Support

We offer comprehensive CAD/BIM design assist service to help ensure

your vision becomes reality. The Corium/Telling team offers detailed

technical, product and design assistance on the use of the system and

its applications, and are pleased to provide constructive comments to

the design.

DRAINED/BACK-VENTILATED RAINSCREEN

Drained/Back-ventilated Rainscreens:

DBV rainscreen involves the assumption that water

enters the cavity in limited amounts and is prevented

from entering the building by the waterproofing.

Additionally, the moisture can easily dry since the

cavity is vented, causing the water to simply evaporate.

The system in force in most panel installations does not

pressure equalize because of the upward or downward

or sideways flow of air in a large cavity.

For example, if the pressure is 20 psf at the top of the

wall and 15 psf at the bottom of the wall, there will

probably never be 20 psf pushing back out of the cavity

joints because the pressure simply migrates to a lower

pressure point in the large cavity.

Therefore the planned scenario is that at least small

amounts of water will enter… but then dry out due to

the ventilation that is free flowing and available.

• Light gauge steel framing, concrete or grouted CMU back-up

• AWB membrane

• Mineral wool Insulation – Variable depth up to 8”

• Cavity – 1.5 inches in depth for positive ventilation

• Framing – Wall Brackets and vertical supports designed to accommodate thickness of

insulation and cavity. Brackets are thermally isolated and adjustable to offset irregularities

in substrate

• Supports run perpendicular to trays

• Trays – Interlocking and Profiled trays to hold the brick tiles

• Brick Tiles – Inserted into the trays

• Lime mortar

REFERENCE STANDARDS:

TESTED ASSEMBLY-

(7) 9 gauge vertical aluminum 2” deep ‘Z’ sections were fixed 6” from edge and at 16” through the sheathing tothe stud behind using 1/4" x 2” stainless steel hexagon head course thread. (39) proprietary HPS200 Colorcoat™steel brick trays were fastened in to the vertical ‘Z’s using 3/16” x 1” stainless steel hexagon head coarse threadscrews. The trays interlock. The brick slips are inserted into trays using spacers to maintain 3/8” vertical jointsbetween the brick slips. The slips are built stagger bond or stacked. The mortar joints were pointed manuallywith an Eastpointe Historic natural hydraulic lime mortar.

Modular Wall Construction


CORIUM™ is 1/3 the weight of face brick, is

mechanically attached to a steel substrate and

utilizes a flexible mortar, making the system

perfectly suited for off-site panelization.

Having completed a number of modular projects

in Europe and North America, we can provide

experience and technical support to help clients

design, engineer and construct these efficient

assemblies.

Benefits of modular wall construction include

speed of enclosure, better quality control, cost,

less weather dependent. Also consider that

modular wall construction is gaining traction in

the US and Canada and that products and

systems designed to meet the increased demand

give designers and sub-contractors a competitive

edge.
